Unlocking Facial Harmony

Chin augmentation and cheek augmentation are transformative cosmetic procedures that often work well in concert together to enhance your facial features by adding definition to these areas. These procedures can create a more balanced facial appearance as well as restore more youthful contours and natural beauty. Whether you desire a stronger jawline, more pronounced cheekbones or fuller cheeks, Dr. Lisa J. Learn and her team makes skilled use of these procedures to improve overall facial symmetry.

Achieve That Desired Aesthetic Balance

When you hear a song in perfect harmony, it’s pleasing to the ear—much like nature’s harmony of a warm breeze, birds singing, and waves lapping on the shore. All it takes is for one thing to be out of place to throw it all off—hitting the wrong note or a loud blast of a fog horn, for instance. An imbalance in facial features can cause the same displeasure. If you have a “weak” or receding chin or sunken cheeks, it can make your whole face seem out of harmony with your nose and other features.

What Can Chin and Cheek Augmentation Do For Me?

Chin and cheek augmentation are cosmetic procedures aimed at enhancing the appearance and balance of the chin and cheek areas, which can help other parts of your face work more beautifully together. Each procedure is tailored to the patient's individual wishes and features.

Chin Augmentation

This involves the use of implants or filler injections to improve the projection and contour of the chin. It can help create a stronger jawline, improve facial symmetry, and enhance overall facial harmony.

Cheek Augmentation

This procedure enhances the volume and definition of the cheekbones using implants or dermal fillers. It can add youthful fullness to the cheeks, restore lost volume due to aging, and create a more sculpted facial profile.

Who Is a Candidate for Chin & Cheek Augmentation in Fort Lauderdale?

Chin and cheek augmentation is ideal for individuals looking to enhance facial definition, restore volume, or achieve a more balanced profile. You may be a good candidate if you have a recessed chin, hollow cheeks, or feel your features lack symmetry. These procedures are especially effective for those who have experienced facial volume loss due to aging or significant weight changes.

If you're considering chin augmentation in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Lisa J. Learn offers both surgical and non-surgical options tailored to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Ideal candidates are in good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. A personalized consultation is the best way to explore your options and determine the most effective approach for achieving natural, long-lasting results.

Bouncing Back From Your Procedure

After your cheek augmentation in Fort Lauderdale with our team, you can expect to feel some discomfort and tenderness. This can last for a few months, but can easily be minimized with medication. You may also experience some initial swelling, as well as a tight or stretched sensation, which usually subsides within a week.  Chewing may be difficult for a few days, so a liquid or soft diet would be best right after the surgery. You will likely have bandages at first as well, to keep the area protected, but there is very little downtime. You can actually resume light activity right away and return to work and your normal activities in as little as seven to ten days.

Am I a good candidate for cheek or chin augmentation?

Ideal candidates are healthy adults who feel their facial features lack definition or proportion. If you have a recessed chin, flat cheeks, or want to achieve more harmony in your facial structure, these procedures may be a great option. A consultation with Dr. Learn will help determine the best approach for your unique needs.

What is the recovery time for these procedures?

Recovery time depends on whether you undergo surgical augmentation or a non-surgical filler-based treatment. Surgical procedures typically require 1 to 2 weeks of downtime, while injectable treatments often involve minimal recovery and mild swelling that resolves within a few days.

Are the results permanent?

Chin and cheek implants offer long-lasting, often permanent results. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, provide temporary enhancement that can last 6 months to 2 years depending on the product used. Fat transfer results may last longer, though some volume may naturally be reabsorbed over time.

What is the difference between implants and fillers?

Implants are surgically placed devices that provide a permanent solution, while fillers are injectable substances that offer a non-surgical, temporary alternative. Dr. Learn will help you decide which option best suits your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle.

Can cheek and chin procedures be combined with other surgeries?

Yes. Chin and cheek augmentation are often combined with other facial procedures like facelifts, neck lifts, or rhinoplasty to create more comprehensive and harmonious results.
